Since you have managed to reach my website for recycling your kitchen waste, I can assure you for a solution to your individual or community composting projects.
Our Humble Beginnings
We began our journey in the year 2009 by offering home composting solutions, soon there were client demands to start community composting projects in housing societies.
In these last 13 years we have served, operated, and consulted over 250 clients on setting up composting projects and operating them.
Today “the green thumb” can boast of having a fool proof system of recycling organic waste without the associated problems of foul smell or pesky pests. We are in the process of filing a patent for our waste processing system set up and design.
The green thumb specializes in the following services.
Step 1
Segregation level of the waste generated.
Step 2
Calculating the current waste processing system capacity and shortfall in it.
Step 3
Area available for waste processing if no system exists.
Step 4
Meeting the managing committee to understand their concerns, budget constraints, history of waste processing.
Shredding Machine
this is made as per the discussion with the committee, the processing system can be enhanced by using a shredding machine DOWNLOAD5 – Shredding m/c video, the shredding machine increases the processing capacity of a existing system by reducing the volume of the wet waste.
Vegetable Crate System
system where vegetable crates are used for composting along with a shredding machine and few compost curing pits. DOWNLOAD3 – Vegetable Crates composting system.
Layout Planning

Quotation (if required)

A)
I will be composting with “Aerobic” method for wet waste using a bacteria culture for composting rather than using earthworms. The aerobic method is simpler and cost effective as compared to Vermi composting.
B)
Society’s wet waste will be collected by the housekeeping and segregated properly. This process generally is the toughest part of the whole process. The segregation chart is attached for society members to refer and provide segregated waste to the housekeeping team.
C)
My labour for daily processing of wet waste will come after 11 am and before 2pm every day.
D)
The labour will operate the shredding machine first and then transfer the shredded waste to the composting pits.
E)
The bacteria culture will be spread on the wet waste and a layer of dry leaves will be added to prevent and reduce flies on the wet waste.
F)
The bacteria cultures required to compost the wastes is inclusive of the costing given above.
G)
I have a separate team of laborers along with a vibrating sieving machine. The compost sieving will be done in a period of every 4-6 months. The compost harvested will be given to the society and the pits emptied will be taken up for the new wet waste processing. DOWNLOAD6 – Compost Sieving m/c video
H)
My Request that only ONE member from the society committee is appointed to look after the works related to the waste management at the society.
I)
Additionally periodic pest control for flies and rodents whenever required.
J)
Assisting society for 5% rebate application
K)
Training of society housekeeping staff, gardeners for proper segregation
Good Capacity
Good capacity of the composting pits to absorb the daily waste that society generates.
Enough Time
An appropriate time is available for the operator to compost high volumes of waste easily.
No Smell
No smell as pits fill up slowly ensuring good aeration and moisture evaporation of daily kitchen waste.
Decrease in rodent pooulation
No smell reduces the population explosion of insects or rodents.
Fewer operational issues
Due to fewer operational issues, people in society accept the composting pits as a part of society easily.
Quality Compost
Superior quality compost DOWNLOAD5 – a sample compost test report with explanations
Greator Participation
Overall success of the whole project.
Definition of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
DOWNLOAD1 – The segregation chart for further details!
Any area which comes under the jurisdiction of a municipal corporation, where the citizens of such an area generate solid waste from residential, commercial, and public areas, this category of waste is termed as Municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste consists of
Organic / kitchen waste like fruit or veg peels, leftover food, bones, eggshells etc.
Inorganic waste like plastic, metal, glass, thermocol, etc.
Sanitary pads, adult and baby diapers, diabetic needles etc.
Waste is a by-product of a given system, generated after passing through a single or number of processing stages.
It is termed as waste as the current system may not have capacity to process it further or it may not have use of the state it has achieved as a by-product.
Waste as a by- product from one system may be a new product in another system on a different situation and time.
